Music festivals ? Any of you go nowadays ?

[Michael Morris]

Headliners for next summers Download are Ozzy Osbourne, Guns n Roses and Avenged Sevenfold.

I’ve done about 8 Download festivals, a few Reading (first one in 83 - then didn’t go again until about 2006.) Been Knebworth a few times as well. Seen loads of great bands.

Three day festivals can be superb but they can be hard work as well. You need to be a young un to hammer it for three days but if you pace yourself you can have a great time especially if it’s not raining.

I can't stand gigs where the musicians you see on stage are so far away that you end up watching a video screen. That isn't a genuine experience for me.

I hate guns and roses , dreadful aerosmith rip offs , good guitarist but the lead singer does my head in

Ozzy needs to knock it on the head now , it's becoming embarrassing

Not a fan of avenged sevenfold

My mates go every year, it's their summer holiday , they hire a camper van which is the way to do it as camping is a nightmare if the weather is bad

But as I said these days I prefer a one day event like steelhouse or single act gigs with just one support band

Looking forward to Mastodon and machine head at the university
